In dozens of partner shelters and clinics across Los Angeles and Boston, our team watched too many people slip through the seams of a system meant to support them: a single layoff, a medical emergency, or a missed rent payment became the first page in a story of eviction and homelessness. We founded OpenDoor to rewrite that narrative.

OpenDoor connects individuals with supportive programs and empowers their futures with personalized job training, so no one with hope becomes chronically invisible.

In our pilot, referrals are completed 3x faster and follow-through has increased by 50%. Rather than build new services, we build the connections between them - what one partner called “a shared nervous system for dignity.”
